About

ANOVA Management provides discretionary investment management to individuals and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business entities, and does not impose an account minimum. Services focus on portfolio management using exchange‑traded funds and periodic rebalancing under a written advisory agreement.

The firm’s investment approach centers on its Efficient Market Portfolio Plus (EMP Plus) strategy, which applies quantitative algorithms to detect an “upward bias” and shifts allocations between broad equity ETFs, cash or cash equivalents, and, at times, defensive short ETF positions to seek lower drawdowns. ANOVA uses pro forma (hypothetical) performance modeling to set thresholds for those defensive moves and generally manages client accounts on a discretionary basis.

ANOVA is under common ownership with an affiliated, SEC‑registered adviser that sponsors an affiliated ETF (launched in 2024), and the brochure discloses this relationship along with mitigation steps such as not charging advisory fees on client assets invested in the affiliated ETF. The firm’s advisory scope is notably concentrated on that affiliated ETF rather than broad third‑party manager selection, which is a distinguishing feature relative to many peers.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
